Croaghacullin [Cruach an Chuilinn]

Rising above the rugged landscape of County Donegal, this 405-metre Tump offers a quiet, pathless ascent typical of the Bluestack Mountains. Its terrain is a mix of peat hags and granite, rewarding those who navigate its boggy slopes with clear views across the wilderness towards the higher peaks of the range.

• •The Irish name Cruach an Chuilinn translates to 'Hill of the Holly,' a reference to the hardy evergreen that likely once dotted its lower slopes or sheltered gullies.
• •It is located in a remote part of the Bluestack Mountains in Southwest Donegal, a region known for its lack of formal paths and challenging peat-covered terrain.
• •From the summit, walkers gain a clear perspective of the desolate bogland interior of the range, looking east toward the higher bulk of Croaghnageer.
• •At 405 metres, it provides a shorter but no less rugged alternative to the more famous peaks of the range, suited to those with a keen eye for navigation across open ground.
